About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) After First-Line Chemotherapy for Metastatic NSCLC

This protocol is a single arm phase II multi-center trial evaluating the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with response or stable disease after 4 cycles of first-line chemotherapy. The core hypothesis tested is that SBRT after 4 cycles of first-line chemotherapy is feasible, safe, provides durable local control of treated lesions and improves time to progression compared to historical controls. Patients are eligible for enrollment if they have metastatic NSCLC with ≤5 lesions amenable to SBRT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Actuarial progression-free survival will be determined using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier and will be reported with an exact 95% confidence interval. Using the RECIST criteria including progression of the protocol treated tumors, non-protocol treated tumors and the development of new metastatic disease. Only protocol treated tumors will be determined by RECIST defined as complete lesion disappearance or <25%or original size; partial >30% decrease of target lesion; stable <30% decreased of target lesion and; local failure increase >20% of target lesion. Non-protocol tumor progression will be determined by the treating physician. Measured by imaging every 3 months.

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To Assess Physical Function for This Cohort of Patients

    Using the Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) A 13-item self-reporting questionnaire includes age, self-rated health, limitations in physical function and disability to assess for deterioration of physical function/health. Scoring for the VES-13 is as follows: Total scores are summed together based on self-rated health (0-1), physical function (0-2), functional disability (0-4), (range from 0 to 7). A total score of 3 or more identifies participants as vulnerable to the risk of decline of physical function.

    Measured: up to 3 months after treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Local Control

    Local control (LC) of SBRT-treated lesions will only be assessed in patients with at least 4-months of radiographic follow-up.

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival will be reported with an exact 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  4. Impact of Treatment on Quality of Life (FACT-L)

    Using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L) a 36-item self-administered questionnaire evaluating physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being; subscales (symptoms, cognitive function, regret of smoking) on a five-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Maximum score 136. Subscale scores added to obtain total score. The higher the score the greater the impact on the quality of life.

    Measured: up to 3 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing stereotactic body radiation therapy in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma and Liver Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 37 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Nov 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01185639, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Nov 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
